Document forgery detection system

Abstract

There is provided a document forgery detection system adapted to have an advanced level of document verification and scanning structure against forgery, whereby the documents gets verified by various verification methods. The forgery detection system comprises a scanning device adapted to scan the document for verification and to compare the scanned image to an original image of the document stored in a remote server associated to a relevant authority. The forgery detection system comprises a verification device adapted to receive and secure the document in place in an angle adjustable configuration, project visible and ultraviolet light on the document for exposing visible light and ultraviolet light exposable embedded marks within the document and reflect these marks to a display in optical communication with the operator. The verification device comprising a magnifier with a visible light lens and a red lens for enabling visualization of embedded marks within the document.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention generally relates to systems and methods for verifying the authenticity of official documents, and more particularly, to an enhanced document forgery detection system.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Technologies for scanning and detecting the authenticity of forged documents are existing in the prior art. However, the production of forgery documents by criminals are continuously becoming more high-tech using the upgraded technologies not being detected in traditional detecting systems and thus enhancing crimes for the production of forgery documents using printing technology. These forgery documents include official documents such as currency notes, passports, and visa papers which are increasingly similar and hard to detect from the originals.[0003]Traditional verification systems include scanning devices used for scanning the official documents and comparing these to the original documents. These systems also include verification ...

Benefits of technology

[0019]Preferably, the document holder comprises a string and is adapted to be in a relaxed position when the document receiver is empty and to be in a tensed position when the document is inserted inside the document receiver for enabling the document to remain in place with the document plan coinciding with the support member plan when inserted.

Problems solved by technology

These forgery documents include official documents such as currency notes, passports, and visa papers which are increasingly similar and hard to detect from the originals.

Among the drawbacks is that these scanning devices are not hundred percent accurate as they generally scan and compare visible data only of the official documents.

This is as the traditional scanning devices have functional limitations and are not integrated with other manual checking devices for hard-proof authenticity.

Also, the traditional manual verification devices are not secure as they are designed such that the ultraviolet light may be exposed to human body.

This is a major drawback which may affect the health of the users (such as officials) operating the manual verification devices.

Also, these traditional manual devices are unpractical, inaccurate and time consuming to use for the verification of documents which may be dissuasive to users especially during rush time or when the users have a number of document target to process during the day.

These drawbacks traditionally occur in part because the document to be verified needs to be held manually by the official according to an accurate angle for the hidden marks to be exposed and verified.

However, this angle inclination of the document is hard to obtain accurately and quickly which imposes a limitation on the use, efficiency and security of these traditional devices.
